Auschwitz and the Russian Front: Hitler and the Tragedy of Hungary

Más información sobre el libro

Over 500 thousand Hungarian Jews and 500 thousand Hungarian Christians perished during Hitler's five-year reign over Hungary. Forty-five years of Soviet occupation followed until the American Computer Revolution made communism collapse. Most Hungarian Jews died in Auschwitz, most Hungarian Christians died on the Russian Front. London and Washington knew that Auschwitz was a death camp in 1942. American bombers and fighter planes based in Italy ruled the skies over Hungary in 1944. Yet, the bombers did not drop warning leaflets, did not bomb the railroads to Auschwitz as the Jews were transported in May, June, and July on 150 trains. The official explanation, saving Jews was not a military priority. The historic novel features historic and fictional figures in Germany, Hungary, the Soviet Union, Israel, Italy, Switzerland, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Very painful, tragic scenes in Auschwitz, the Russian Front, and Budapest. The author's mother knew some of the Jews who were gassed in Auschwitz. The author's father was a soldier on the Russian Front and survived. 74 pages of historic photos.
